Unlike normal Salrose (the common trade name for bright pink Cobaltoan dolomite from Congolese deposits, which is calcium-magnesium dominant with only minor cobalt substitution), Spherocobaltite is the cobalt-dominant end-member with significantly higher cobalt content. This results in a deeper, more saturated red color, different crystal chemistry, and greater rarity compared to the paler pink shades typical of Cobaltoan dolomite or Cobaltoan calcite.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: normal;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003ePRODUCT MINERALS \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eCobalt, Dolomite, Malachite, Kolwezite, Heterogenite \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: normal;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003ePRODUCT FEATURES \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eCrystalline, Silky\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: normal;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003ePRODUCT COLOUR \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003ePink, Green\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: normal;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eMOHS HARDNESS SCALE\u003ci\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e3\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003ePRODUCT DATA \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eLocality = Musonoi Mine, Congo\u003cbr\u003eGrade = Very Good to A Grade\u003cspan style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"\u003e                      \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSize = 134 - 136 mm\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"COBALTION DOLOMITE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50136317952193,"sku":"182-013-260411BM","price":2632.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2066\/6451\/files\/182013_10.jpg?v=1776345540","url":"https:\/\/www.toprocks.com\/products\/natural-spherocobaltite-specimens-with-silky-malachite-heterogenite-and-kolwezite-specimens-x-2-from-musonoi-mine-congo","provider":"Toprock Gemstones and Minerals ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
